Commissioner Tippin recalled that the biggest oak he had ever had moved had a <br />double trunk and both trunks were 40 -inch d.b.h. Two 60 ton cranes were required to lift it <br />and he only moved it 72 feet. It can be done and there are specimens that can be found to <br />replace the ones removed along Jungle Trail. <br />Chairman Adams restated the motion and Vice Chairman Ginn and Commissioner <br />Stanbridge looked to Mr. DeBlois to point out the trees on the photographs. <br />ChiefEnvironmental Planner Roland M. DeBlois usedphotographs to point outwhere <br />and what kinds of trees and plants were located. He advised that the initial plan that was <br />approved stated that non-native species were to be removed by hand. There were stretches <br />of the 30 foot buffer that were native hammock. <br />Commissioner Stanbridge commented that specimen trees were dispersed throughout <br />that whole length. <br />Mr. DeBlois advised that some of the natives were east of the Jungle Trail protection <br />buffer, but nevertheless hammock areas were taken out by the developer. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carred unanimously. <br />County Attorney O'Brien confirmed that he would be working with staff. <br />Director Keating responded to Vice Chairman Ginn and advised that the original plan <br />involved minor removal ofBrazilianpeppers and re -vegetation and maintaining the oak trees <br />that were discussed. Sometime after approval, he understood that circumstances changed <br />with respect to the developer and he went out and cleared the buffer without getting any <br />approval of a revised plan from staff. There were no revisions received from Masteller and <br />Moler. <br />April 11, 2000 <br />,,,_ 27 <br />BOOK 113 FACE �G <br />
